Paragoombas are Goombas with wings. It is a common type, and the most common Goomba type right after the wingless Goombas themselves. They are defeated in the exact same way and can either hop on the ground or actually fly. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3.

A red version exists in Super Mario Bros. 3, and is weaker than their normal counterparts. They attempt to ram into Mario whilst running along the ground. In Super Princess Peach, these counterparts return, along with an angry form that is faster and more dangerous.

The way Paragoombas function vary from game to game. In the New Super Mario Bros. games, Paragoombas jump around with their wings. Red Paragoombas and Mad Paragoombas from Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Princess Peach function this way as well. Paragoombas in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Princess Peach have them flying around, dropping Micro-Goombas that slow the player down and lower their jumping power. Sad Paragoombas in Super Princess Peach also work this way, but without dropping Micro-Goombas.
